Have you ever wanted to pre-calculate the exact cost of a trip for yourself, your passengers, or even for your company? Google Maps can accomplish this. <br><br>By following these steps you can get the exact cost of your next trip:<br><br>1. Calculate your trip.<br>2. Click on the three vertical dots next to “Get Directions.”<br>3. Click on “Add Stop” in the drop-down menu.<br>4. Write “gas” into the search bar.<br>5. Select the “gas” option from the search results.<br>6. Search for your preferred gas station to stop at.<br>7. Select the station from the search results.<br>8. The distance between where you start and where you end, and the distance traveled between your current location and the gas station, should now be displayed.<br>9. At this point, you can calculate your gas bill by multiplying the total amount of driving in miles by your average miles per gallon, which can be found at www.fueleconomy.gov, and then multiplying by the current cost of a gallon of gas.<br>10. Add that number to any other expenses like tolls or food. <br><br>So, as you can see, if you know your car's miles per gallon rating, you can find the exact cost of your next trip with these simple steps so that you'll be prepared to account for all your expenses in the future.
